Look as you go
Walking on the road of Tibet, you will see some things, you will meet some people. These things about these people may move you.
From National Highway 318 all the way to Lhasa, there are many cyclists, backpackers, and occasionally a few strange hikers with suitcases along the way. Those who come to Tibet have their own dreams. Some people say that everyone who comes to Tibet comes for pilgrimage, and everyone has their own holy place in their hearts.
When I was in Bomi, I met a young man and a woman from Shanghai who opened a bicycle rental and repair stall in Bomi. They set off from the starting point of National Highway 318 in Shanghai and planned to travel all the way to the end of the national highway. Every time they go to a scenic spot, they will stay for a while, and travel while opening a stall for renting and repairing bicycles, earning a corresponding fee. It has been a few years since they came out, and the next stop is Nyingchi. These two young people travel in a practical way, and in the process of traveling, they not only broaden their horizons, but also enrich themselves.
In Bomi, I met a university student from Zhejiang Province who had always longed for the mysterious Tibetan land, and he came to Tibet during his summer vacation. His family is not very good, there is not enough money, so he took a trip to Tibet as a survival experience, he set off from Hangzhou, all the way to Bomi hitchhiking, along the way to a scenic spot, he helped people do some odd jobs, to earn food and accommodation expenses. His next stop was Nyingchi and then Lhasa. Finally, hitchhike back to school from Lhasa along the Qinghai-Tibet line.
At an inn in Lhasa, I met three strange people. One is a young man from Hubei, who set out from CD and walked to Lhasa on foot for more than two months. He didn't take a single ride along the way, and his purpose was simple, to see his perseverance and perseverance. Luckily he persevered, and he did. The other was a young man from Inner Mongolia, who rode a rickshaw loaded with his belongings, including a gas stove, a large tent, and grain and vegetables. He rode from the northernmost point of China to the southernmost point and then from Yunnan in Guangxi to Tibet. He had no clear purpose, just as he rode his horse on the steppe. There was also a young man from Shandong, riding an ordinary bicycle with fully paid equipment, who rode from CD to Lhasa in less than ten days. The young man from Shandong said that with his strength, it would not be difficult to win a place in a general bicycle race, but his goal was to ride all over China.
People who go to Tibet say that everyone has a Tibet in their own mind, so everyone who goes to Tibet has a different purpose.
When I arrived in Lhasa, I also met a pilgrim who had come from Ali far away and spent nearly a year walking to the Potala Palace step by step with great devotion. The power of faith makes people have incomparable perseverance and perseverance.
